Miners dead in Swansea Valley tragedy
 
Divers who entered a flooded mine to help free four miners trapped 90m (295ft) underground have been forced to return above ground, say rescuers and lets hope and pray that they can all be rescued alive.

Horrific way to die. My thoughts are with the remaining trapped miners and all their families.

Miners are in my eye's brave men doing a job i could never do. My heart goes out to the families of these men and the loss they must be feeling for those confirmed dead. I hope we have some good news soon
